LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the application, issuance, and suspension of alcoholic beverage licenses. Existing law establishes the types of licenses and the application and annual fees to be charged therefor. Existing law specifies that the application fee for a duplicate winegrower license is $440 and that the annual fee for a craft distilled spirits manufacturer is $755. Existing law provides that all money collected as fees pursuant to the act as payments under these provisions are deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund. Existing law provides that a violation of the act or a regulation adopted pursuant to the act is a crime.
This bill would specify an application fee that is the same as the application fee for a duplicate winegrower license, $440, and an annual fee of $755, for a duplicate craft distilled spirits manufacturer license.
Under existing law, a distilled spirits manufacturer’s license or a craft distiller’s license authorizes the licensee to conduct tastings of distilled spirits produced or bottled by, or produced or bottled for, the licensee, on or off the licensee’s premises, subject to specified conditions. Existing law authorizes a licensed craft distiller to sell up to a specified volume, in any combination of prepackaged containers, per day, per consumer of distilled spirits manufactured or produced by the licensee at its premises to a consumer.
This bill would additionally condition the conduct of tasting of distilled spirits produced or bottled by, or produced or bottled for, the licensee, on or off the licensee’s premises, if the craft distiller purchases and uses common alcohol modifiers to combine with distilled spirits for consumption on its premises upon the distilled spirits being produced by the manufacturer. The bill would prohibit a craft distiller from selling distilled spirits to consumers or engaging in tasting activities at more than one licensed branch office. The bill would include in the definition of “licensed premises” for this purpose, and for purposes of the authorizations described above, any branch offices located away from the licensed craft distiller’s place of production and manufacturer for which a duplicate license has been issued by the department. Because the bill would expand the definition of an existing crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would also authorize a licensed craft distiller, in addition to exercising all of the privileges of their license at their licensed premises, to exercise all of the license privileges at or from
a branch offices office located away from the place of production and manufacture other than production and manufacture. The bill would authorize the department to issue to a licensed craft distiller a duplicate of its original license for a location or locations, location, other than the distilled spirits manufacturing premises, that would permit the maintenance and operation of each
the branch office declared and designated by the licensed craft distiller at the location for which the duplicate license is issued.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

(c) (1) In addition to the application fee for a new permanent license as specified in subdivision (a), an annual renewal fee, as set forth in subdivision (b), shall accompany the application. The application fee shall be nonrefundable up to the amount of the application fee in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), as adjusted by subdivisions (d) and (e). The annual fee provided at the time of application shall allow the license to be active for one year from the date of issuance and shall be refundable only in the event that the license application is withdrawn or denied.
(2) If an application includes multiple new permanent licenses to be issued at the same premises, the application fee shall be required for only one of the applied-for licenses and an application fee shall not be charged for the remainder of the licenses. In situations involving different license types, the application fee to be paid shall be the highest such fee as specified in subdivision (a). If an application for a new permanent license is combined with an application for license transfer pursuant to Section 24072 at the same premises, only the transfer application fee or the new permanent license application fee shall be required, whichever is highest. Notwithstanding this provision, the annual renewal fee required pursuant to this subdivision shall be payable for each license.
(d) Beginning January 1, 2021, and each January 1 thereafter, the department may adjust each of the fees specified in this section by increasing each fee by an amount not to exceed the percentage that the California Consumer Price Index (California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research, All Items, Base Period 1982–84=100) for the preceding August 2019, and each August annually thereafter, has increased under the same index over the month of August 2018, which shall be the base period. The department shall not adjust fees pursuant to this section if the balance of the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund at the end of the prior fiscal year is greater than one-fourth of the department’s appropriation from the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund for the current fiscal year. No fee shall be decreased pursuant to this adjustment below the fee currently in effect on each December 31. If the accumulation of percentage increases is greater than 8 percent, the department shall not adjust fees without the Legislature’s approval through the budget process. In the event that this index is discontinued, the department shall consult with the Department of Finance to convert the increase calculations to an index then available. When approved by the Department of Finance, the new index shall replace the discontinued index.
(e) When fees are adjusted pursuant to subdivision (d), the department shall calculate the percentage increase as specified in that subdivision and shall apply this increase to each fee. The increase to each fee shall be rounded to the nearest whole five dollars ($5). The adjusted fee list, to be effective on January 1 of the upcoming year, shall be published by the department on its internet website and transmitted in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee no later than January 10 of the year before it becomes effective. This adjustment of fees and publication of the adjusted fee list is not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
